### 4/5 — Almost great app!

*2024-04-22, version 2.0.2020*

I love lists, and use them every day. I have been using ITA for years, and love it for everything except recurring to-do’s (think grocery and chores). For these it would be incredibly helpful to have an alphabetizing function!!

### 4/5 — Intriguing

*2023-04-14, version 2.0.2020*

Unique and interesting for an app that hasn’t really seemingly been updated

### 4/5 — Great app - almost my dream listing app

*2022-01-21, version 2.0.2020*

As a major lister I love this app. While having great features and an easy to use interface, it’s beauty is in its simplicity and not being overly ambitious for what it is. 

Having said that (and the reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5) is that I make lots of long lists and need the ability to reference them with a search function. If this app has a search function I couldn’t find it in the instructions or figure out how to use it. 

Still very pleased and appreciate it though, especially since it’s a small dev and a free app (though I’ll give you $4.99 if you add a search function, Lol)

### 4/5 — Almost Everything I Want

*2021-07-25, version 2.0.2020*

I started using this app about a year ago when the app i was using previously for a simple list program failed to update.  ITA was the perfect solution, with a better interface.  Only one function is missing- the ability to transfer items from one list to another.  Please include this feature in your next update!!

### 3/5 — Easy to use with a few issues

*2019-10-06, version 2.0.4*

Most,y easy to use,  not complicated.  My only complaint is when I’m typing, the line I’m typing disappears and I have to do it over again.  It’s frustrating

### 2/5 — Times out in 2 seconds

*2018-07-18, version 2.0.4*

Better write VERY fast, it drops during typing and you lose what you typed so far. Type a few letters than save. Looking for a replacement App.

### 4/5 — Very nice.

*2018-01-05, version 2.0.4*

Very nice app for creating list and, marking it down.

### 3/5 — Would like a way to save a lists order

*2017-12-13, version 2.0.4*

I’ve got routines that I follow and I use Ita to keep track of what I’ve done. These routines are usually carried out in a specific order, but sometimes I’m forced to do some items out of order. I would like a way to stop “completed” items from being moved to the bottom of the list.

### 5/5 — Simple, functional & doesn't swallow time

*2017-01-14, version 2.0.4*

No rubbish, just a solid and decent app that is useful to quickly jot down items which come to mind when you're in the middle of something else. Hasn't crashed for me.

### 5/5 — Very Practical List Making

*2016-12-24, version 2.0.4*

Intuitive and very simple to use list making app. Rearranging, editing, deleting or expanding an item to a fully realized thought is painless.

I'm surprised I wasn't charged for it. I use it to keep a mini database of song titles.

### 2/5 — Used to be very nice, but back up your lists...

*2016-11-25, version 2.0.4*

Until it's fixed, this looks good but is frustrating on iOS 9 & iOS 10. It often drops input while you're in the middle of typing. Which is sad, because I like it a lot otherwise.

A search function would be nice, but I feel that this app has been abandoned.

This may not be the fanciest list management software, but it is extremely simple to use and provides the basics. It's fairly intuitive, and definitely easy to learn.

I find it useful for a number of tasks, including grocery lists, books I wish to purchase, movies I am considering renting, etc. There are probably apps for each of these which are more focused, but I prefer having a single place to go and not having to learn new commands or gestures for each.

There is no advertising, which is important to me.

However, I've had at least two updates of this software erase all of my lists. (In one case, I was able to recover them using a tool to browse the iPhone filesystem.)

Perhaps there is an iCloud bug involved — I don't know, one way or the other — but I am hesitant to trust the application across updates at this point.

In a recent instance, I updated the app on my iPhone and it showed no lists. Luckily, the un-updated app on my iPad still showed all of them (and the developers promptly pulled the buggy update and released a fix shortly thereafter). Before you update, and probably periodically, use the Share function to back up your lists!

### 4/5 — Love it

*2016-10-10, version 2.0.4*

I love this simple little app enough to live with its bug until it is fixed.

 But, please, please fix the bug that makes additions to my lists or the lists themselves disappear!

### 3/5 — Easy app

*2016-09-26, version 2.0.4*

I have used this app for a long time. It is the easiest to use. I use it mainly for grocery shopping and I don't like the others out there. It has one problem.  I've dealt with this starting several updates ago. Not sure if it is Apples or the apps itself.  I go to type something in and suddenly the keyboard goes away and what ever I was typing is gone and I have to start over. I really wish the developers would fix this. I see several people have the same issue but I assume they don't read reviews of their own apps.

### 2/5 — Don't bother

*2016-07-12, version 2.0.4*

Hardly use this app any longer because it randomly closes out a note I'm in the process of writing. This is not an occasional occurrence. It happens almost every time I use the app. Back to Apple notes for me.

### 5/5 — Teacher

*2016-07-10, version 2.0.4*

Love this APP!!! 💟

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2016-01-31, version 2.0.4*

I love Ita for its simplicity, and have been using it for years. That doesn't happen with every app. There is still a slight glitch, it seems  lessened with my update to IOS9, but still there on and off. When I try to input an item, especially one with more words, it frequently disappears while I'm still writing, making me start over. Then it does it again, then again. I finally give up and write it in Notes, then cut and paste into Ita. I have an iPhone 5. I hope you fix it, because I want to use Ita for the rest of my days. :)

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2015-12-05, version 2.0.4*

Intuitive and effective. Great app

### 1/5 — Lost my data

*2021-08-10, version 2.0.2020*

I lost all my data from the last 5 years today.   I can’t get an email to go through to the developers.   
HELP!    I need the data restored!

### 1/5 — NO LONGER WORKS

*2017-12-03, version 2.0.4*

I used this for years, and loved it for
It’s simplicity. Today it stopped working altogether. I lost all my lists. I suspect that this may have something to do with new versions of iOS, which I’m beginning to loathe as much as I loathe Windows.

### 1/5 — Review

*2016-12-31, version 2.0.4*

This app used to be good but now it crashes most time while trying to make an entry. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Done. Lost all my lists.

*2015-11-30, version 2.0.4*

Updated and now all my lists are gone. What a waste of my time. Another good app gone to  crap.

### 1/5 — Updated and lost all my lists

*2015-11-04, version 2.0.4*

Sent two emails about the above with no response - nice!!

### 1/5 — What Happened?

*2015-09-28, version 2.0.4*

What happened to this app?  When it came out, it was amazing.  Had a snafu after the iCloud Drive upgrade where some lists were lost, and took some time away from it.  Came back to a buggy mess.  Seriously - a buggy hot mess.  So many issues I don't even know where to begin.  Eh, I know - Delete the app and just go back to the stock Apple Notes app.  Yeah.  Sorry, not sorry.  Bye.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with iPad

*2015-03-17, version 2.0.3*

I am giving this app only 1 star, because it doesn't work with the iPad. I have two iPads and it won't work with either one of them. Although it does work with my iPhone 6 plus . It used to work fine until they done an update, now it won't work at all. I have emailed customer support 2  time and they won't email me back.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-02-17, version 2.0.3*

I bought this less than five minutes ago and this has crashed three times in trying to make my first two lists. Looks great, love the simplicity, but I have no use for something that crashes every 30 seconds. This is a purchased app - this needs a fix asap.

### 1/5 — Use to love it...

*2015-01-02, version 2.0.1*

...but now that it crashes all the time and the whole "disappearing act" with the lists - it's time to find something better.

I also miss the old icon.

### 1/5 — Bw

*2014-12-10, version 2.0.1*

Loses my list since update

### 5/5 — Fantastic List App

*2023-11-03, version 2.0.2020*

List is in the middle of my name, so I like my lists! 

The great thing about this app is that I can keep lists (like boba tea orders) for future reuse. I like to tap the entry once it’s been achieved/taken. Once it’s all bolded, then I know I am done and ready to leave (e.g. supermarket)

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-03-31, version 2.0.2020*

This app helps me keep my life on track. Couldn’t make it without it!!

### 5/5 — Updated app works great, easy to use

*2022-12-24, version 2.0.2020*

I like the straightforward layout and graphics of this list app. It’s very easy to create lists and I like the way ‘done’ items can just be tapped to fade out and fall to the bottom of the list. I also like the ability quickly reorganize the different items. I use this app frequently.

### 5/5 — Ideal

*2020-11-29, version 2.0.2020*

A classic iOS app, so glad to see it back. It makes lists easy to work with.

### 5/5 — OMG, You’re back!

*2020-05-17, version 2.0.2020*

I have checked the App Store every few weeks for the last few years on the off off chance y’all have fixed ITA. 

Today is a very exciting day for me:)

### 5/5 — Clean and easy

*2019-12-20, version 2.0.4*

Love the simplicity, lack of superfluous functionality, and the almost stark practicality. Does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

### 5/5 — Just works

*2017-10-30, version 2.0.4*

It just makes lists, nothing more, and it does it well. It’s a great app. No fancy cloud syncing or sharing, just simple lists. 

It would be good to know if the developers are still supporting this app.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-07-31, version 2.0.4*

Unique design.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-06-03, version 2.0.4*

Would recommend this as it's really easy to use and is so useful. One of the best 'list' Apps I have used.

### 5/5 — Great Listering

*2017-01-17, version 2.0.4*

Great App friends!  Easy to use, intuitive, looks good, no clutter :) 
Thanks for being great!
